If adult salmon have not started to return yet, you will still be able to see hundreds of thousands of baby salmon in our public rearing facility. We hope to see you in June!

Hello ggd! We are located 3-5 miles from the cruise ship terminals, depending on where your ship moors. There are several options for getting to the hatchery including taxis, trolleys and buses. But the best option is to sign up for a tour package offered on board your cruise ship. If you're here in late June, you may be able to see the salmon returning. We look forward to your visit!
